Diamond Hill Mid Cap Strategy stated the following regarding The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Though markets have continued rising throughout the year, we have continued finding individual companies whose prices we believe are not reflective of their long-term growth outlooks. Accordingly, we initiated several new positions in Q3, including The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC), Equitable Holdings, Cooper Companies and Revvity.

Toro Company is a leading provider of equipment for turf and landscape management, snow and ice management and underground construction. It has leading market share and strong distribution and service networks that incentivize customers to replace like for like, generating a strong revenue source for the company. Amid a challenging macroeconomic environment and bloated channel inventories, recent results have been soft — however, we believe the long-term fundamentals remain intact and expect the company to generate solid results over the next 5 to 10 years.”
